週三，美國單日死亡人數首次超過1000人，是每天死亡人數的兩倍多，其死亡率是美國最致命的兩種疾病-肺癌和流感的兩倍。
病毒的死亡計數很難及時更新，但約翰霍普金斯州冠狀病毒數據庫（ 包括世界衛生組織，美國疾病控制和預防中心，歐洲疾病預防控制中心和中國國家衛生委員會）顯示：美國時間週三美國東部時間晚上10:25達到1,040例。自該病毒於1月下旬在美國首次出現以來，已有5116人死亡，並感染了215,000多人。
美國單日最高紀錄是星期二，有504人死亡。
一些研究人員說， 到4月中旬，每天的死亡人數 達到2,200甚至更多。 ，這一數字將超過心臟病，該國每天殺毒人數約為1,772人，是該國的頭號殺手。
唐納德·特朗普總統在白宮關於該病毒的簡報中說：“我們的國家正處於偉大的國家審判之中。” “我們將經歷非常艱難的兩個星期。”
肺癌 在美國-這是相同數量的對波音747飛機座位，根據美國的肺癌基金會。乳腺癌 導致約116名美國人死亡。
流感是美國每年都會期待的慢性殺手，也是成千上萬美國人注射流感疫苗的原因 ，在2017-18年度流感季節，美國 ，這是該國最嚴重的一次流感。疾病預防控制中心（CDC）稱，最近十年。CDC的數據顯示，今年的流感季節每天平均記錄383人死亡。
衛生官員說，COVID-19被認為是一次突發性醫療事件，因為它不太可能將其致命性維持超過三四個月，而1,000的閾值是一個重要的閾值，因為它表明了突發性疾病爆發的嚴重程度美國醫療系統。
它還提出了有關COVID-19可能隨時間造成致命影響的問題。白宮冠狀病毒特別工作組成員安東尼·福奇（Anthony Fauci）告誡說，這種病毒可能會像流感一樣成為複發性事件。他說，美國需要為下一個週期做好準備，可能會在2020年秋季發生。
福齊說：“我們確實需要為下一個週期做好準備。”
醫護人員Ludnie Emile準備於2020年3月19日在佛羅里達州棕櫚泉市的得克薩斯州冠狀病毒測試站測試人們的COVID-19。
美國國家過敏和傳染病研究所所長Fauci強調需要繼續開發疫苗並對其進行快速測試，以便“可用於下一個週期”使用。
華盛頓大學 更新的一項研究 預測，如果整個國家竭盡全力限制接觸，則冠狀病毒的死亡將在接下來的兩週內達到峰值，並且大多數州的患者將不堪重負。
在全國範圍內，華盛頓大學的模型預測，4月中旬的每日平均死亡人數為2214人，到夏季末，將有84000名美國人死亡。根據疾病預防控制中心（CDC）的數據，這是2018-19年度流感季節所奪走的生命的兩倍多，該季節造成34,000人死亡。
但是該數字代表了該模型最可能的估計。華盛頓大學健康指標與評估研究所創始人兼主席克里斯托弗·穆雷（Christopher Murray）領導的研究小組認為，情景的範圍從36,000例COVID-19死亡到超過152,000例。
根據白宮週二發佈的估計，多達24萬美國人可能死於新的冠狀病毒，這一嚴峻的預測影響了唐納德·特朗普總統擴大社會疏散準則的決定。
研究預測，在6月11日之前，每天的冠狀病毒死亡人數可能不會降至100以下。
冠狀病毒的症狀可以與流感的症狀混淆，實際上，兩種病毒具有相似的作用。對於衛生官員來說，追蹤流感也同樣麻煩。疾病預防控制中心說，美國的流感疾病負擔可能有很大的不同，這取決於許多因素，包括循環病毒的特徵，流感季節的時機，疫苗的效果如何以及接種疫苗的人數。
健康專家說，冠狀病毒的未來取決於諸如人類是否對它產生增強的免疫力以及是否開發出有效疫苗等因素。如果兩者均未發生，則該病毒 並像普通流感一樣將其確立為常見的呼吸道病毒。
疾病預防控制中心（CDC） 自2010年以來，流感每年導致900萬至4500萬例疾病，14萬至810,000例住院治療和12,000至61,000例死亡。

More than 1,000 in US die in a single day from coronavirus, doubling the worst daily death toll of the flu
The U.S. topped 1,000 coronavirus deaths in a single day for the first time Wednesday, a daily death toll more than double that of two of America's most deadly illnesses – lung cancer and the flu.
Death counts from the virus are difficult to keep up to date, but the Johns Hopkins coronavirus database – include the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the European CDC and the National Health Commission of China – shows that the U.S. hit 1,040 cases Wednesday at 10:25 p.m. ET. Since the virus' first appearance in the U.S. in late January, 5,116 people have died and more than 215,000 have been infected.
The previous high mark for a single day in the U.S. was Tuesday, with 504 deaths.
Some researchers say the daily death toll to 2,200 or more – by mid-April. That figure would eclipse heart disease, the nation's No. 1 killer with about 1,772 deaths per day, .
“Our country is in the midst of a great national trial,” President Donald Trump said in a White House briefing on the virus. “We’re going to go through a very tough two weeks.”
Lung cancer in the U.S. – that's the same number of seats on a Boeing 747 airplane, according to the Lung Cancer Foundation of America. Breast cancer kills about .
The flu, a chronic killer that the nation has come to expect in yearly cycles – and the reason millions of Americans get flu shots – in the U.S. during the 2017-18 flu season, the nation's worst in the last decade, according to the CDC. This year's flu season has recorded an average of 383 deaths per day, CDC figures show.
While health officials say COVID-19 is considered a flash medical event in that it is unlikely to maintain its deadly hold for more than three or four months, the 1,000 threshold is a significant one because it shows just how potent an unforeseen outbreak can be on the U.S. medical system.
It also raises questions about COVID-19's possible deadly effects over time. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, has cautioned that the virus could become a recurring event, much like the flu. He said that the U.S. needs to get ready for the next cycle, possibly to occur in the fall of 2020.
"We really need to be prepared for another cycle," Fauci said.
Healthcare worker Ludnie Emile prepares to test people for COVID-19 at their drive-thru coronavirus testing station in Palm Springs, Fla. on March 19, 2020.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, emphasized the need to continue developing a vaccine and test it quickly so it will be available "for that next cycle."
A University of Washington study updated projects that if the entire nation makes an all-out effort to restrict contact, coronavirus deaths will peak in the next two weeks and patients will overwhelm hospitals in most states.
Nationally, the University of Washington model predicts a peak daily death toll of 2,214 in mid-April, and a total of 84,000 Americans dead by the end of summer. That’s more than twice the lives claimed during the 2018-19 flu season, which killed 34,000 people, according to the CDC.
But that figure represents the model’s most likely estimate. The range of scenarios spans from 36,000 COVID-19 deaths to more than 152,000, according to the research team led by Christopher Murray, founder and chair of the University of Washington’s Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation.
from the new coronavirus according to estimates released by the White House on Tuesday, a grim prediction that influenced President Donald Trump's decision to extend social distancing guidelines.
The daily coronavirus death toll likely won’t dip below 100 before June 11, the study predicts.
Coronavirus symptoms can be confused with that of the flu and, indeed, the two viruses have similar effects. Tracking the flu has been equally troublesome for health officials. The CDC says the burden of influenza disease in the United States can vary widely and is determined by a number of factors including the characteristics of circulating viruses, the timing of the flu season, how well vaccines are working and how many people got vaccinated.
Health experts say the future of the coronavirus depends on such factors as whether humans develop increasing immunity to it and whether an effective vaccine is developed. If neither occurs, the virus and establish itself as a common respiratory virus like the flu.
The CDC has resulted in 9 million to 45 million illnesses, 140,000 to 810,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 to 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.
